Consolidating Servers

Just a quick website service announcement – we’re moving from Bluehost to 1and1.com hosting. We’ll see how 1&1 does in terms of performance for the price, which is dirt-cheap. Bluehost was acceptable but nothing impressive. Dreamhost is also an old standby and I’ve recently learned that Namecheap hosting is worth avoiding.

Update: 1and1 turned out terribly. If you don’t transfer your domain name to them or if you want to host your DNS externally, some of their systems and support techs tell you they’re about to delete your site. (I received an automated message offhandedly telling me they were deleting my site because they didn’t host the DNS.)

So I’m now on to trying HostGator…
